Deploy and Host Hermes Agent on Railway

Hermes Agent is the self-improving AI agent built by Nous Research. It runs autonomously on your own server, creates skills from experience, and remembers what it learns across sessions. It connects to platforms like Telegram, Discord, and Slack, and ships with 60+ built-in tools and MCP support.

About Hosting Hermes Agent

Hosting Hermes Agent gives the agent a persistent, always-on home, so it can run scheduled tasks, hold long-lived memory, and stay reachable across chat platforms. The template deploys with no required variables, so the service starts as soon as you click Deploy. Once it's running, you open a shell into the service from the Railway dashboard to authenticate an LLM provider, connect chat platforms, and edit configuration on the service's filesystem. Hermes writes skills and memory to disk over time, and the template includes a volume to keep that data across deploys and restarts.

Common Use Cases

Run a personal assistant reachable over Telegram, Discord, Slack, or email
Automate recurring reports, backups, and briefings with built-in cron
Run research and batch-processing workflows across parallel subagents

Dependencies for Hermes Agent Hosting

An LLM provider account (Nous Portal, OpenRouter, or OpenAI)
Platform credentials for any chat integrations you connect, such as a Telegram or Discord bot token
